INTASS State Project/Joyce Foundation
Project Description:
The INTASS process incorporates the concepts of Equity, Effectiveness and Efficiency as fundamental to the development of high quality appraisal systems that go beyond compliance and achieve the intent of the legislation to improve teaching and learning. Equity ensures a system that is fair to teachers and guarantees the opportunity for all students to benefit from the appraisal process. Effectiveness in the system optimizes instructional excellence and academic achievement, provides teachers with high quality feedback and addresses learning outcomes. Efficiency ensures that the system is designed for consistent, comprehensive and manageable implementation in transparent and predictable ways.
The INTASS project is guided by a set of principles that help school districts create and implement:
1. A system that ensures fair and accurate judgments about the teaching and learning process.
2. A system that enables valid judgments/assessment of student growth.
3. A system that includes multiple measures of student achievement.
4. A system that facilitates a productive professional dialogue among teachers and administrators to ensure continuous improvement.
5. A system that creates confidence and support for all stakeholders.
6. A system that incorporates procedures to address anomalies and inconsistencies in the implementation process.
7. A system that incorporates collegial decision-making.
